CONCORD - The Belknap County Jail inmate who escaped on Monday was arrested on Wednesday in New York state, the U.S. Marshals Service announced.
Peter John Dibiaso. 57, was taken into custody by Corning police a little after noon.
Dibiaso had fled the Belknap County Jail Monday night after breaking through an unalarmed door and scaling a 10-foot fence. He was being held in a pretrial status on charges of being an armed career criminal, criminal threatening with a deadly weapon, stalking and operating a motor vehicle without a license.

Dibiaso was able to flee Laconia in a vehicle that was recently reported stolen in the area. He was located with the stolen vehicle in Corning and arrested without incident.
When he would be returned to New Hampshire was unclear.
